Yesterday was National Best Friend Day, and it got me thinking about this past weekend.
I had spent the majority of my weekend hanging out with my friends for a performance, I was acting, dancing, laughing talking, ushering, and over all having the best time of my life.
After the Sunday performance and taking down set I had realized that this group of people had completely distracted me from the fact that Sally had been dead for almost an entire year.
So it got me thinking about what a best friend truly is...
I remember when I was in the second grade there were all these "Rules" about having a best friend.
-You could only have one BFF
-You could only have 2-5 Best friends
-Everyone else was just a friend
Looking back I laugh at those rules, because there are no true rules to friendship.
Going back to my friends from this weekend, if you looked at all of us individually you would never think that we would be so close.
You would categorize us in little circles the pretty girls, the loner, the misunderstood kid, the kid who thinks he is too cool, the diva, the girl who will remain hung up on her ex boyfriend forever, the smart kids, the beautiful boys, etc, etc
And whats amazing is when we come together none of those stereotypes matter. Everyone is there to be happy and love each other.
I see my friends from this performance in the hall ways and wave to them or have a short conversation with them, and whom ever I am walking with will say to me, "You're friends with them?" in like a "How is this socially possible?" way.
it has never bothered me when people ask me that question. If anything, it flatters me and makes me happy, because that means I have done something that hasn't really been done, and I love that I might be venturing out into the land of social-unknown.
So Diamonds, go out into the world and make friends, befriend the people who you have heard all of the nasty rumors about and form an opinion for yourself.
It takes more than just me to defy all the social stereotypes!
